BALTIMORE, June 26.—A1l the old
v familiar Woodrow Wilson leaders of
Georgia, near-heroes of the late presi
dential primary fight, are on hand, mix
ing it with the-rielegates and undertak
ing to squeeze their man into the run
ning somewhere.
All sorts of efforts have been made to
sound out the Georgia delegation, and
so get it committed, from some sort of
an angle s -any old sort would do—to
the cause of the New Jersey professor.
There has been absolutely nothing do
ing with the Crackers. Wherever the
Georgia delegation may land in the
long run, it is not going to land in the
Wilson camn
One Georgia Wilsonite of wide repute
went to Chairman G. R. Hutchens last
night and proposed that a combination
be framed up between Underwood and
Wilson, with Underwood for the presi
dency and Wilson for the vice presi
dency. Os course that impressed Mr.
Hutchens as entirely too generous to
be true, particularly coming from the
Wilsonite of wide repute, as aforesaid,
and he said he would have to talk the
matter around a bit and see how the
boys took to it. When he began talk
ing it around he found that others be
sides the Wilsonite of wide repute, as
aforesaid, had been talking it around
among the boys, and that what he
(Hutchens) had to communicate, as a
sort of curious piece of gossip, was not
news to the delegation at all.
Trying to Line Ont
Georgia For Wilson.
The idea presumably was to line out
the Georgia delegation for the New
Jersey man somewhere. After two
days’ hard work, nothing had been ac
complished in the second choice mat
ter, so surely Georgia would fall so
the suggestion of Wilson for the vice
presidency, if it carried with it Under
wood for the big job. Not one siitglc
member of the delegation could see
anything in that pipe dream, however,
and not one delegate agreed to consider
the proposal, even half way seriously.
The Wilson people, including the
Wilsonite of wide repute as aforesaid,
have succeeded in getting nothing but
< 4,<he coldest of cqmfort from the Geor
gians so far. _
Colonel Charles R. Pendleton. < hair
x m=tn of rhe Georgia delegation, is one
■ of the happiest men in Baltimore to
day. He is proud of the stand the
Georgia delegation is taking and
pleased with the way it is sticking to
gpfher.
Georgia Delegation
Not For Gaynor.
On behalf of the Georgia delegation,
Colonel Pendleton wishes it made as
plain as it may be that Georgia has
considered no second choice for the
presidential nomination and will con
sider none so long, at least, as Under
wood has the slightest chance of a
nomination. And today the Georgians
believe that Underwood is looming de
cidedly larger than he ever has before.
An effort has been made to, place
Colonel Pendleton and the Georgia del
egation in in attitude of favoring Gay
nor. of New York. The Georgia dele
gation is not for Gaynor for second
choice, and Colonel Pendleton has never
said he was. The truth of the matter
Is, that while the New York delegation
and the Georgia delegation are very
'Jriendly and have stood together thus
far, particularly in the Parker-Bryan
fight.. New York is far more apt to
come to Underwood than Georgia is lot
go to Gaynor. The New Yorkers are
not instructed; the Georgians are. The
Gaynor boom has very little of the
substantial about it; it is more of a
favorite son game than anything else.
A small fraction of the delegates be
lieve, or even .profess to believe, that
Gaynor has a chance for the nomina
tion. A very large large fraction be
lieves that Underwood has a most ex
cellent < hance.
Since the great Parker-Bryan battle
of yesterday, Underwood stock, along
with Champ Clark stock, has gone
booming upward. Wise ones about the
hotel lobbie- today are saying it must
eventually be either Clark or Under
wood. It " ill be nobody early in the
I game. That is very evident. But it is
not going to be XV ilson, so the talking
goes'today, and it is not going to be'
| Gaynor. The very best is that it is
I going to be Champ Clark.
Pendleton Says Don’t
h$ Believe Hostile Press
* Georgia already has acquired a con
vention reputation as the delegation
that sits tighter and sticks closer to-
I get’ner than any of them. All sorts
| of appeals have been made to it; all
I sorts of stories have been sent out
about it; ail sSrts of attempts have
been made to and shake it' but
no effort has rattled ft or caused it one
moment of uneasiness about Itself.
Discussing the Georgia delegation
today, Chairman Pendleton said;
■'lt is a fine delegation of level-head
ed men. It came to Baltimore to serve
a high and patriotic purpose to the
Democracy. Nothing can shake thdt
determination All sorts of misrepre
sentations have been sent out and may
be K ent out by a press hostile to its
candidate for the presidency. People
should believe the things they read In
the papers friendly to Underwood, and
reject the things said in a hostile press,
f am not going to bother my head to
tVny the fakes and untruths that a
hostile press may send out or an enemy
give utterance to. All the Georgia dele
gation asks is that the people of Geor
gia v a ch what it does—that will tell
its story. The people may judge Geor-

lb i " . another baby looking for a home, a bright-eyed little
fellow so." whom several families have applied.
There are more childtess homes it>
Georgia than children to fill them, to
judge from the number of applications
the Children's Home society has re
ceived for one little boy. The Geor-<
gian printed a picture of this youngster
a few days ago. Robert McCord, su
perintendent. said today that half a
dozen would-be foster-mothers had
asked for the boy and he hated to
think that all but one must be disap
pointed.
"One of the applicants is a woman
with a five-year-old hoy." said Mr. Mc-
Cord, "and she wants this three-year
old for a companion to the elder. _ It's ■
against our usual rules to place a child
where there are other children, with
the possibility of his receiving treat
ment different from that given 'own'
babies, but this is such a good home
we may make an exception."
Children Take Her For Stork.
Mrs. Sarah kaßoche Roberts, a
worker in the Wesley Memorial church,
took one of the society’s orphans to a
new-found home at Crawfordsville a
few days ago, and wrote a let ter to Mr.
McCord of the way she was received.
Children in Crawfordsville thronged
around her. thinking she must be the
stork they had heard so much about,
and two or thtee made urgent demands
for a baby brother or sister, usually
specifying the exact shade of hair and
eyes desired.
The. letter Mrs. Roberts wrote Mr.
McCord was, in part, as follows:
"Vfhen the midnight train [lulled into
gia by the sets of its delegation, not by
what somebody unfriendly to it may
say or hint that it will or will no’
do."
Dean Heads Committee
On Permanent Organization.
H. H. Dean, one of Georgia's dele
gates-at-la rge. was elected chairman
of the committee on permanent or
ganization. In that roll he will play
a prominent part in the convention
hereafter. It may be said that Mr.
Dean’s election to that high position
of great anti abiding responsibility was
brought about more by reason of Geor
gia's firm and uncompromising stand
against Mr. Bryan in the Parker con
test than for any other reason. The
delegates generally are persuaded that
whatever else may happen in Baltimore,
the Georgia delegation will never con
sent to take any sort of dictation from
the Nebraskan.
It is a fact that the Georgians went
into' the convention hall very much
against Bryan. They came out eter
nally and uncompromisingly against
him. If the commoner elects to get
back in his place, he can do business
with Georgia, but as ringmaster of the
whole show, he can not transact a
little bit. The truth of the business
is that there is more than one Geor
gia delegate who believes that Mr.
Bryan is headed straight for Theodore
Roosevelt’s third party, and that he will
land there before this convention Is
long a cold and dead thing of the past.
Whether this suspicion is entirely Jus
tified by the facts In the case is a
question, but that many delegates be
lieve Bryan is going to quit if he can
not boss the performance is a fact.
Thomas B Felder was an honot guest
at a dinner last night given by Mayor
Preston, one of Mr. Felder's warm

the Union station I boarded it. holding
tenderly and closely to my heart a dear
little baby, whom one hour ago I had
never seen. It was just a baby—that
was sufficient. All the. God-given ma
ternal instinct of my nature went out
to it, to shield it, protect and love it. It
had been tarn from its mother's arms
by a cruel fate over which its feeble
strength had no control. .Only a baby!
Yes, but tell me if you can. wha’ one
thing in all this world is bigger or
greater than a baby? Os what use is
all the wealth, trade, commerce and in
dustry except for a baby? Behind all
the great enterprises that ever stirred
• men to supreme efforts was the one su

baby that rules the land.

For a time, at least, it was mine, and I

"Men laugh at that strange, sweet
language called baby talk, but I be
lieve it is sweet music to the ears of
every true man. I don't think it neces
sary to explain to a true man. I have
seen tender women stoop over the bed
of great, strong men, who were brought

gation to the convention.
Disappointed that Tom atson is
not on hand, the onlookers in this
Democratic Vienna today are taking
mightily to Felder anyway.
The story of Felder’s bout with
Blease. of South Carolina, and the ef
forts of Blease to land Felder in a
dungeon and the efforts of Watson to
land him outside the household of his
Democratic friends have spread abroad,
and everybody asks to be introduced
to the Atlanta Tom. They all think
Felder came right through South Caro
lina to Baltimore, which he did not, of
course, and they admire him for his
nerve in defying two such celebrities as
Blease and Watson.

then asked the court to permit him to

permission.

ANSLEY PREDICTS
BUSINESS TICKET
Declares Many Leading Citi
zens Are in Move for Compe
tent City Officials.
A Business Men's .league to nominate
a complete slate of city officials was
being widely discussed in Atlanta to
day, and, according to Edwin P. Ans
ley. who urged the Chamber of Com
merce to take up the matter, many of
the city’s most Influential citizens are
thoroughly in accord with the move
ment.
T freely predict that the next city
election will see a complete ticket
picked by the business men of Atlanta
and backed by them for every office
in which there is a vacancy,” said Mr.
Ansley. "These men will be capable
men, too, picked by capable business
men, who have proved themselves suc
cessful and who know competent men
when they see them.
"There is a deep-seated movement on
foot among the business men of At
lanta now. and if some of them would
talk they could tell you that If the
Chamber of Commerce will not take up
the matter of selecting competent men
for city offices, they will organize
among themselves and do it.
Hates to Attack City Officials.
"Part of the duty of working for the
good of Atlanta is to aid her to have
competent officials." Mr. Ansley added,
"and if in working for the city’s welfare
the Chamber of Commerce is drawn
into politics, then that’s where it be
longs. I understand that President
Wilmer L. Moore says the chamber is
a commercial organization and.not a
political one, but that ought not to keep
it out of politics when it becomes nec
essary for the city’s health and growth
for some organization to help out in the.
selection of competent men for office,
"It is absolutely necessary that some
thing should be done to place the city
government In the hands of men who
can run it on a business basis and who
are not mere politicians seeking their
own interests. Many of the men now
connected with city affairs are my own
friends, and I hate to attack them as
much as 1 hate to say in public that
we are in imminent danger of an epi
demic of typhoid fever, but something
must be done, and I could not feel that
I had done my duty until' I told the
public what I knew of actual condi
tions.”
CAT THAT SPEAKS
IS PROUD BOAST OF
HAMBURG WOMAN
LONDON. June 26. —-According to the
Dresdner Nachrichten, a Hamburg
woman owns a cat that talks. It is
further stated that the animal is at
tracting considerable attention in sci
entific circles, and that experts from
the zoo are about to test its linguistic
gifts.
Some time ago the cat’s mistress was
very much surprised, so the story goes,
when, instead of the expected "meow,"
which answers a call, the cat distinctly
pionounced the word "nein." This was
wonderful enough, but what is still
more so is that the cat was taught
other simple words, which it learned
quickly. "Milch” (milk), "Anna” (this
being the name of its mistress), and
others were soon used easily by the
< at.
When it refused to say the word it
was asked to utter it was left in a room
and deprived of food. This never failed
and the cat pronounced the word re
quired.
CHICAGOANS RUDELY
SHOCKED BY ANTICS
OF SUN WORSHIPERS
CHICAGO, June 26.—Weird “service"
conducted in the open air in their back
yard, clad in nature’s garb only, caused
shocked neighbors to secure warrants
for'the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. John
Palmer and their young son and daugh
ter.
It was charged that weekly sun wor
shipping services were held, during
which the family would parade in a
procession about the yard, without
clothing. Occasionally they would raise
their arms on high and perform other
antics.
It Is said to be a daily habit of the
elder Palmer to come into the yard
and take a. sun bath In the nude while
he smoked a corn cob pipe. X '

OLD AIRS MOST POPULAR
Just what the people of Atlanta like
best in the way of music is a matter of
doubt no longer. From the hundreds 1
of letters that Dr. Starnes, the city 1
organist, has received, it is apparent 1
they not only care more for Southern
airs and hymns than for the classics. 1
but have a reason for the caring.
Here is one letter that Professor
Starnes leceived in response to his re- !
quest for suggestions from Atlanta cit- 1
izens concerning the program lie 1
should play at the Auditorium free 1
concerts on Sundays:
"I am glad that you are going to al- 1
low the people of Atlanta to select the *
music they would most enjoy hearing.
In mv case It will be a great pleasure
1
to enjby a few old strains that were
familiar to me when 1 was young and

“For instance, one I will mention was <

Asks More Southern Airs.
“Perhaps you could play one of these

Another letter written, from the

Phe author mentions that he wishes

Dr. Starnes announces that he has

GALLED B ISiRGK
SHOEMB SUES
Not Satisfied With Four Dollars
Damages, He Appeals and
Case Is Dismissed.
•
UIENNA. June 26.—A curious law
suit is reported from Bruck in Bo
hemia. A shoemaker named Joseph
Svoboda brought an action for defama
tion of character against a grocer be
cause the latter had called him "Bis
marck.”
The defendant pleaded that in doing
so he had certainly believed that he
was- paying a compliment to Svoboda,
who bore a strong resemblance to the
famous statesman. It was, moreover,
quite natural that he should give him
another name than his own. as there,
were no fewer than twentj' Svobodas
in the town, and their Christian names
were invariably Joseph or Svoboda.
He was surprised, he added, at any
one taking offense at being called by a
name which was revered throughout
the German empire.
Svoboda refused to be appeased.
“What really wounds me." he said, “is
not that he called me by the same
name that the burgomaster has given
to his dog. but he spoke of me as 'Bis
marck the bald,' and that is a slander
ous insult.” /
After much deliberation, the judge
awarded Svoboda $4 damages, but he
was not satisfied, and the result of his
appeal was that the courts squashed
the sentence and dismissed the case.
Svoboda will be definitely known to
the inhabitants of Bruck as»“Bismarck
the Bald.”

BOARD GUES 0. K.
TO CITY HOSPITAL
Investigators Find Meals Good
and Ample and Internes Are
Not Overworked.
That the food served the internes at
Grady hospital is O. K.; that the in
ternes are not overworked, and that
the hospital generally is in splendid
condition is the finding of the board
of trustees and medical board as a
result of the joint Investigation, which
has been under way for several days.
The verdict was based on the evi
dence of the members of the house staff
themselves, and the record of daily
menus kept by Dr. W. B. Summerall,
the superintendent. The only corn-*
plaint made as to fond came from three
of the twelve internes, who said they
havl found it difficult several times to
get anything to eat when they were
late at their meals. It was also stated
that at times the variety of food was
not great enough. That the food is
well prepared and plentiful was the al
most unanimous evidence.
When Dr. Summerall, at the closing
session yesterday afternoon, read a
number of the daily menus, Trustees
F. J. Spratling remarked:
“Better Than Seashore Fare.”
“I certainly would like to board here
with you doctors.”
Trustee Charlie Northen smiled
broadly and said:
“I’m just hack from the seashore
where I paid S2O a week for meals not
near as good as served here.”
All of the Internes testified that they
are not overworked. Miss Feebeck, su
perintendent of nurses, said that if any
body in the hospital is overworked it
is the nurses. She said none of them,
however, were making any complaint,
D.r. Summerall explained that the new
hospital had entailed extra work, and
that efforts are now being made to
supply an extra number of nurses.
In giving the hospital a clean bill of
health, the two boards directed Dr.
Summerall to prepare for publication
a detailed article, showing true condi
tions In the hospital and refuting false
reports given out by some unknown
person. -
